We caught up with the two full-time members of Nyamakop, Ben Myres and Cukia Kimani, to discuss their upcoming game Semblance, their time in the woods with the Swedish indie game accelerator Stugan, and the state of South African game development.

OpTic Gaming finally won their first world championship, seeing off Team EnVyUs in the grand finals. Karma earned his third ring, Crimsix his second, and Scump and Formal both got their first. After the final there was a press conference with all the media at the venue invited, and we got to ask them some questions.

Team EnVyUs fell to OpTic Gaming in two successive best of five series in the grand finals, but still walked away from the event with second place. The boys in blue sent Jordan ‘Jkap’ Kaplan and Bryan ‘Apathy’ Zhelyazkov for a press conference with all the media to answer some questions.

The OpTic Gaming vs EnVyUs final is almost upon us so we took the time to ask a myriad of fans who they think will win the final. OpTic fans are out in force as expected, but there were also a number of EnVy fans and one slightly confused guy who thought he himself stood a chance of winning.

Two games are done in championship Sunday, and we’re catching up with some casters to hear their predictions. CouRage was briefly available so we heard his thoughts on the event so far, his opinion on the Europeans performance this event, and who he reckons will take the final.

The final day is underway, and there’s now just three teams left; Luminosity, EnVyUs, and OpTic. We’re in the press booth for the final time and the action is sure to be as fast and entertaining as ever. Catch the full stream on <a href=”https://www.gamereactor.eu/live”</a>our rebroadcast</a>, and keep your eyes peeled on the site for footage and content throughout the day.

Championship Sunday is underway, we’re up at the press benches for the final time. Momo, one of the main casters on the Alpha stream, was lingering around so we grabbed him for a quick interview to hear his thoughts on the event so far, what he makes of Europe’s performance in the final tournament for Infinite Warfare, and his vote for MVP of the entire tournament.

Day two of COD Champs 2017 being open to the public and more fans are piling through the doors. The winners and losers brackets are fully underway, and COD WWII is available to play once more. We spoke to some more fans and heard their thoughts.

Luminosity were one of the top teams going into this event and while it hasn’t gone completely smoothly for them, they’re still in with a shot and have defeated two British teams in Fnatic and Infused so far in the losers bracket. They face off against Splyce in their next round and could knock out three British teams in a row from the tournament, so we had a chat with Octane after their second victory.

Formal rose to the top and won it all on Halo, and now he’s on the path to do the same on Call of Duty. OpTic are the clear fan favourites and the squad is looking solid, beating Splyce and securing their top six finish. We had a short and sweet chat with Formal to hear his thoughts.

FaZe shut down Infused in the second round of the winners bracket 3-0, and the only man on the squad we hadn’t spoke to yet was Gunless. We had a chat with him following their victory to hear his thoughts on that game and how they feel facing off against OpTic next.

Day four of the Call of Duty World Championships 2017 is underway, and it’s the longest day of the event. Matches go on until after 7pm EST, and OpTic vs Splyce is already going on with the green wall taking a 1-0 lead. We’ll be providing plenty of interviews and coverage throughout the day, so keep Gamereactor open for all of your Call of Duty esports needs.

Rise Nation just sent Str8 Rippin home empty handed after beating them in the first round of the losers bracket, and it looks like their confidence is back from their earlier loss to Infused. We grabbed a spontaneous chat with FeLonY after his team’s strong performance to hear about what went wrong earlier in the day, and how confident they feel making a losers bracket run.

COD Champs 2017 opened to the public today, and along with all the action from the matches, Call of Duty: WWII was open to the public to play. Along with playing ourselves, we spoke to a few fans who tried it out and heard their thoughts on the game, along with who they’re rooting for in the main event and what they think of Champs 2017 in general.
